Teams

Promotion and relegation (pre-season)

For he new season, after the first wave of coronavirus pandemic in Italy, the Serie A league decided to bring the number of teams from 17 of the previous season, to 18. Because the 2019–20 season was interrupted without winners and relegated, it was decided that one team from the Serie A2 had to be promoted to the Serie A.^[1]

But four teams, Roma,^[2] Pistoia, Cremona^[3] and U.S. Victoria Libertas Pallacanestro,^[4] were going through financial trouble which put at risk their participation to the 2020–21 season. Among them only Pistoia couldn't finalize the subscription^[5] and therefore relegated to the Serie A2.

Basket Torino first and then Scaligera Verona^[6][7] were invited to the highest league but they both declined, so that the final number of the teams was set to be 16.

Virtus Roma withdrawal

In December Virtus Roma had to face an unsustainable financial crisis. Claudio Toti (owner of the team) was looking for an exchange of ownership but no relevant offer was made that could save the team from an inevitable bankruptcy.^[8] At the end, on December 9, the final decision was taken and the official withdrawal from the league was submitted to the Italian Basketball Federation.^[9] At that moment Roma had played 9 games with only 2 wins and was holding the 15th position in the league table.

All the games from Virtus Roma were voided and the team disappeared from the official website.^[10]
